...and moreover, heaven and hell are the same place. You see, because of "free will", if a person does "good" s/he will go to heaven and if s/he does "evil" they will go to hell. If then, a person does "evil" knowing full well they will go to "hell" for it, then one could surmize that hell is the place they wanted to go in the first place. If this is true, then hell would be a heaven to them. Would it not, then, be a punishment for them to go to heaven?

By this theory, there is a hellheaven for evildoers who do so by free will and desire. And, alternately there is a heavenhell for those who are to be truly punished for their evil deeds by going to the place they did not intend through their free willing actions. So by the application of the associative property of mathematics, AB = BA, would not a hellheaven = a heavenhell?

A modernist priest once told me that because God is infinite - God is in hell and hell is in God.
According to this modernist wacko, to think otherwise is to deny the infinity of God.

They aren't even p[laces at all, but states of being. If you find yourself in Hell, then change the way you think about it and you can be in Heaven.

"Heaven is not a place or time; Heaven is being perfect." -- Jonathan Livingston Seagull

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect." -- Jesus.
